Solution

The correct option is B May
Median refers to the value which lies in the middle of the data (when arranged in an increasing or decreasing order).

The temperatures are arranged in the increasing order as follows.
38, 40, 43, 46, 48

Here, n = 5

$M e d i a n = {\frac{(n + 1)}{2}}^{t h}$ observation

$= \frac{(5 + 1)}{2}$

$= 3^{r d} o b s e r v a t i o n$
$= 43$

Therefore, median temperature is $43^{\circ} C$ and it happens in the month of May.
